Hi all -
Sorry, I can't seem to log in on the trac site today so I have to reply
via email.
The current conventions document does not include the update that was
agreed in ticket 76, which allows a comma-separated list of conventions
in the Conventions attribute. This is in section 2.6.1.
We agreed to this because it's what the NetCDF Users Guide recommends.
I noticed this omission when the on-line NERC CF-checker (at
puma.nerc.ac.uk/cgi-bin/cf-checker.pl) complained about a compound
Conventions attribute in one of my files.
Can we get this change into the document?
Thanks - Nan
